Along the way, Chen Wanbai talked and laughed with Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling behind him from time to time. < /p>
"Si Ya, let's pick it up together." Chen Wanling said excitedly.
"No, I don't need that much. No matter how much I carry, I won't be able to carry it." Chen Wanbai smiled and pointed at the heavy backpack behind him.
After hearing what she said, Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling ran over happily, chatting while carefully looking for more fungi on the wet mud.
"Wow, this big one looks so fresh!" Chen Wanling excitedly held a big mushroom in his hand, with a proud smile on his face, and couldn't wait to show it to the two of them, "Look, It’s much bigger than the ones near the village. The ones near the village haven’t grown yet, and they were taken away by everyone.”
During the chat between the three of them, Chen Wanbai learned that Mrs. Zhou had been driven back. My natal family also borrowed money from my natal family and gave it back to Old Man Chen.
While talking, they had arrived at the door of Chen Wanbai's house. Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling looked at the wooden house in front of them, a little surprised.
Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling saw the three wooden houses at a glance. One was a large one, and there was a small one next to it. There was smoke coming from the cooking pots. There was also a slightly old one some distance away. wooden house.
First there was a hint of surprise on their faces, and then at that moment, their eyes showed pity for Chen Wanbai.
The two sisters were thinking in their hearts: They didn’t expect Third Aunt and Si Ya to live in such a simple wooden house, not even an adobe house.
Originally they thought that the third aunt and the others had already lived in adobe houses. You know, the most miserable families in the village lived in adobe houses.
"This...this is your home?" Chen Wanrong asked slightly surprised.
Chen Wanbai looked natural and greeted them with a smile: "Yes. Come on, this is where we live. Although it is a bit shabby, it is still comfortable."
Let's go Entering the wooden house, Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling saw that although the house was simple, it was neatly tidied. There is only a simple square table and two chairs in the main room, and there is a small cabinet in the corner.
Chen Wanbai put down the things in his hands and gently opened the door to the side. Sisters Erya and Sanya followed her and walked towards the room together.
The light in the room was a little dim, and Mrs. Liu was seen leaning on the bed in a daze. < /p>
"Third Aunt, we are here to see you." Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling shouted to Mrs. Liu in unison.
The Liu family was originallyWhile in a daze, I heard the voices of several people, and then I came back to my senses, turned my head slightly and looked at them.
"Are you here? Sit down quickly." Mrs. Liu pointed to the edge of the crib and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
There are no extra chairs in the room, only a narrow wooden bed, a small wardrobe, and a simple small table placed next to the bed.
"Third Aunt, how are you?" Chen Wanrong asked with concern.
On the way here, Chen Wanbai had already told the two of them about Liu's illness.
"Third Aunt is fine. How have you been doing lately?" Ms. Liu sighed softly, with a trace of tiredness that was difficult to conceal on her face.
"Third Aunt, everything is fine with us. You should also take care of yourself and get better soon." Chen Wanrong replied softly.
"Alas, you children are living a hard life." There was a trace of love and worry in Mrs. Liu's eyes.
After all, she had lived in the Chen family for such a long time, so how could she not know what kind of place it was.

"Third Aunt, don't worry about us, we are all fine." Chen Wanrong comforted her and held Ms. Liu's hand tightly. < /p>
"Well, Third Aunt is not in good health and can't cook for you."
Chen Wanbai nodded, "You guys chat while I go cook."
"I'm going to help." Chen Wanrong stood up.
"I'll go too." Chen Wanling was also a little embarrassed to be alone with Mrs. Liu. She was not very good at talking, and just stared at her when she stayed. She felt bored, so she might as well be with her sisters.
"You all go, I will take a rest." Liu said with a smile.
Chen Wanbai brought the two sisters to the kitchen. The two sisters looked at all this with envious looks in their eyes.
Although the kitchen was also made of wood and looked rather simple, it was tidied up in an orderly manner.
The kitchen is divided into two parts: left and right.
On the right side are two stoves, one large and one small, with iron pots and medicine pots placed above them.
There is still a little residual warmth in the stove under the medicine jar, and bursts of rich medicinal fragrance float out from the medicine jar and fill the air.
Next to the stove is a simple small wooden table and two stools, which is obviously a place used for eating on weekdays. The desktop is clean and tidy, and it can be seen that the people who use it are very hygienic.
On the left side of the kitchen, firewood more than one meter high, covering the entire wall, is stacked neatly against the wall. It is uniform in size and neat.
There are several bamboo chicken cages under the firewood.All small animals are locked up. There are pheasants, wild birds, and hares respectively.
There is a rectangular bamboo dustpan hanging from the beam, and some mushrooms drying on it are swaying gently in the breeze. There is a huge bamboo basket hanging next to it, which is full of green wild vegetables.
"Just help me choose the vegetables." Chen Wanbai said as he took out some fresh wild vegetables from the bamboo basket and handed them to the two of them.
Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling quickly got busy. While washing vegetables, Chen Wanrong asked: "Siya, how are you doing these days?"
"I think you are doing well. "Yes, it's much better than the days in the Chen family. I don't have to go hungry every day, have trouble sleeping, and get beaten and scolded at every turn," Chen Wanbai replied without thinking. < /p>
As she said that, she lifted up the half-sleeve that was too short to cover her face. She saw that her whole arm was covered in bruises and bruises, with old and new marks crisscrossing the area.
"My father has changed now and has become scary. Although he doesn't beat or scold us, he knows how to pump milk at home, and he makes trouble every once in a while. When the milk is beaten, we will suffer. . ”
“Oh, my father is a complete fool and doesn’t care about us at all. He just doesn’t help us when he sees Nai beating us, and he even blames us for making Nai unhappy. Chen Wanling continued, his tone full of helplessness and grievance.
"I hope my mother will have a little brother in her belly, so that my life will be easier."
...
Chen Wanling rambled on for a long time. Chen Wanrong originally wanted to stop it, but then she thought about it. Si Ya knew the situation anyway, so it would be better to let San Ya speak out and vent her feelings.
